It's always the best when the sponsor is a studio you love, coming back with a project that does not miss! Buy The Expanse: A Telltale Series here:
I recommend watching the Stand Alone Complex series!
The long panning shot through the shopping center that you considered boring is one of the most important in the movie.
Matrix was based in part in this movie, also almost all modern cyberpunk.
That poor garbageman's situation is so heart breaking. He has honest real love for a wife and daughter that never existed. He has to live with the death of a family that never existed.
They absolutely trashed the story in the live action which is why most GITS fans pretend it doesn't exist. Casting Scarlett Johansson was the least of that movies problems. If you liked this movie I absolutely recommend watching the Stand Alone Complex series next!
If you’ve never watched Akira I think that would be something for you to consider reacting to
She's not naked all the time, she wears an opto-camouflage suit which needs to be skin tight. Also I know it's a matter of preference, but the English dub of this movie is absolutely top-notch and I think your experience would have been more enjoyable with it.
The nakedness comes from 2 things: 1. The Major's invisibility is built into her skin, so if she wears clothes, she can't turn it invisible. 2. The author of the manga used to be a pin-up artist (I believe), so reason 1 is (likely) the result of reason 2.
That 5-minute sequence of just watching the city in the middle really makes this film what it is.
The Matrix got inspired by ghost in the shell.
The irony of the Hollywood "remake" is that for an entry in a franchise with the nature of identity as a major theme, while it might have looked the part in many ways, it had no real identity of its own, having essentially just recreated elements from every other iteration and stitched a generic plot around them. It was a shell without a ghost. A body without a voice.
Technicly, Kusanagi is not naked. Her thermo optical stealht suit is made of a translucent skin tight material.
Regarding the Ghost in the Shell/Matrix similarities...Ghost in the Shell was a big influence on The Matrix.
Motoko get's naked all the time without caring about it... well yea... she is much more emotionally detached from her body being a part of herself. It's more like... equipment. So why would she care much about showing it? Batou is less detached in that way. He stayed much more "human" and socialized in a lot of ways than Motoko which shows for example in him covering her up all the time.
Regarding the Major's "bad choice", it's not like she had much better alternatives. It was a gamble that might've paid-off.
GITS and Bladerunner are two fundamental flicks that defined the look for the cyberpunk genre. You see their influence in almost any modern cyberpunk-adjacent work.
The caucasian thing, Motoko says "hakujin" (白人) which literally translates as white person. The pacing is more in line with traditional Japanese cinema (where they were more aligned with the pacing of French cinema than American). Even at the time it was viewed as too slow by Americans. (IMO the DVD subtitles were better, both in timing and translation.)
Fun fact, since Cyberpunk keeps getting brought up AND the Judy mission as well... Judy's avatar for her phone/text message is a ghost in a shell. Fun little nod.
The music score of this movie is friggin’ beautiful! …Akira and Ghost in the Shell are arguably two of the most influential Animes on most movie Directors for the past 20-30 years. Mamoru Oshii (the Director) wanted to make something more understated and along the lines of cop dramas like Michael Mann’s HEAT … Masamune Shirow’s mangas (he wrote and drew Ghost in the Shell) also tend to be very heady and heavy on exposition.
